The final free open top bus tours of Southport of this summer season take place today (Bank Holiday Monday, August 31).

So here are 184 pictures of what you can see on this fabulous tour of our town.

Local charity Merseyside Transport Trust (MTT), which began the scheme in 2012, has once again been operating circular open top tours during the Summer holiday season.

These tours, which start from Southport Pier, will be provided by volunteers using historic Leyland Atlanteans; 1449 (GKA 449L) and 1551 (OLV 551M).

After a leave of absence during the 2013 season, 1551 went through an intensive rebuild and has been restored to the livery it carried during the 1980s when it originally operated the tour and is ready for its public once again.
